My favorite Christmas music

My Favorite Christmas Music

Hi guys! Today I'm going to talk about my favorite Christmas music. I have been listening to a lot of Christmas music lately and realizing what I like and what I don't like.

My favorite artist for Christmas music is Micheal Bublé. I really like his whole Christmas album. My favorite song from his is probably Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. I also really like Its Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, and All I Want For Christmas Is You. The Christmas season doesn't start without a little Micheal Bublé! I like to listen to his Christmas album while decorating or wrapping presents. He should come out with a second album.

I also really enjoy the Glee Christmas albums. They have 3 or 4 of them. My two favorite songs from those albums are Last Christmas and Christmas Wrapping. Their tv episodes are fun to have on in the background while you're at home decorating or spending time with friends. I also really like the Glee version of Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, Do You Hear What I Hear, and Little Drummer Boy. I think that the Glee version of Santa Claus Is Coming To Town is even better then the Micheal Bublé version. They are both very good though.

Now I'll talk about some individual songs that I like. One of my favorites is Santa Tell Me by Ariana Grande. I also like Only Thing I Ever Got For Christmas by Justin Bieber. Lastly I like Christmas Time by Christina Aguilera. I like when my favorite artists come out with Christmas songs of their own. A few of the singers I like have come out with albums of older Christmas songs remade, but I like when they write a new one for themselves.

I listen to Christmas music on and off year around but when you start to hear it on the radio you know Christmas is getting close. Listening to Christmas music lifts my spirits and it makes everyone happier. We've had lots of Christmas music playing around the house for the past two weeks. It's a tradition that will hopefully never get lost! I hope you guys enjoyed this blog and it helped encourage you to get in the Christmas spirit!

Rotary Interact

Rotary Interact

Hi guys! Today I'm going to write about rotary interact. It's a club at my school that does community service projects.

So far I've been to about four or five meetings. Our first project we set up to do is volunteer work at the walk to end alzheimer's. So yesterday at 8 we went to a park and we helped set everything's up. Then the group of people I was in set up fake flowers. If you took a purple flower, you've lost someone with alzheimer's. If you took a blue flower, you have alzheimer's. If you took a yellow flower, you support or care for someone with alzheimer's. If you took an orange flower, you support the cause.

We let people write on the fake petals. Once the walk started we collected all the flowers. Then we went up to the garden and we stuck them in the ground. We greeted everyone at the finish line with posters and bells. Then we helped clean up and helped people find their flowers. It was really fun and I loved seeing people react to a group of about 10 high school students up at 8 helping.

We have two more projects that we're planning right now. The first one is helping elementary school kids. We're going to go over to the elementary school and we get to help the kids plant flowers, do homework, and play with them. Our second project is the cancer awareness project. At one of the football games, everyone in rotary is going to go onto the field holding a balloon that's the color of cancer that has effected them and release it.

I'm really excited to be in rotary and I think it's a lot of fun.

First Week Of School

Hi guys! Today I'm going to write about my first week of school. School started last Monday. I was pretty excited to go back just so I could see people again. 

Monday morning when my alarm clock yelled at me around 5:30 is when I realized I'd be tired the rest of the year. I got ready and went to my bus stop. The first day of school was terrible but pretty much because it was so boring. We didn't do anything in classes. Tuesday was better but it's school so it will never be great. My favorite class right now is probably yearbook, it seems really fun. I'm on the sports section so I go to games and photograph them. I also get to choose what photos of the sports team go into the yearbook. 

On Wednesday it was again pretty boring. I do think that I'll like most of my teachers. My french 3 teacher and my yearbook teacher I had last year so i already know I'll like them. All sophomores are required to take gym. My teacher seems pretty nice so I think it will be fun. On Thursday we actually started doing some real work. We mostly just took notes and did bellringers. In first period i have math. I really like my math teacher, I think she's really good at teaching the subject. Second period I have gym. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's so early. For third period I have biology. I think this class with be pretty fun because my teacher says we'll do a lot of labs. 

Fourth period is French 3 and I like the teacher but i think the class will be pretty hard. Fifth period I have english. So far I like my teacher but I think she's just a little boring. My sixth period, US Studies, is pretty fun. I like my teacher a lot. For seventh period I have yearbook witch is really fun and a good way to end the day. On Friday we had a pep rally. It would have been a lot more fun if it wasn't so hot outside. It was around 92 degrees out. 

So overall my first week of school was ok but not great. I'm glad to be back but at the same time I want summer to be longer.

Suicide Squad Movie Review

Hi guys! Today I'm going to write about a movie I saw recently called Suicide Squad. I saw it about a week ago.

So it starts out with Amanda Waller explaining what the suicide squad is. It's a group of criminals with bombs in there necks. If they complete an extremely dangerous mission then they get 10 years of there sentences and a small reward. If they try to run away they get killed. So the suicide squad starts out with 7 members. Boomerang, Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Diablo, Slipknot, Killer Croc, and Enchantress. They can't put a bomb in Enchantress because she uses the body of a doctor. They have her heart to try and control her with. She turns into Enchantress in her sleep and made a human turn into her brother.

Her brother protects her so that her heart won't hurt her. They are building a machine to kill every human on Earth. The suicide squad gets approved and they all get injected with the bomb. They're captain is Rick Hunter and his partner is Katana. She's there to keep them in line and if the bombs don't work to kill them. Enchantress can turn humans into creatures that will attack the suicide squad and obey her commands. The suicide squad gets off the helicopter and almost immediately Slipknot tries to escape and they blow him up.

They fight their way threw the creatures. They're on top of a building when the Joker comes and starts shooting at everyone to rescue Harley Quinn. She gets onto the helicopter and it gets shot down. Harley Quinn jumped out and escaped the crash but Joker didn't make it. She rejoins the suicide squad. They find out what they're up against and they all quit. Rick Hunter talks them into helping them and they decide they don't have much to loose. When they get to Enchantress they first have to fight her brother. Diablo grows to the size of him and they fight. He pushes him into a corner where a giant bomb is supposed to be. Diablo can't get away in time and he dies with the Enchantresses brother. They all start fighting the Enchantress and they manage to hit her a few times. She finally asks them to join her because they are the strongest humans she's ever met. Harley Quinn goes up to her and asks in she can bring back Joker if she flips sides. Enchantress says yes and Harley kneels down. She quickly grabs a sword and she cuts out her heart. She gives it to Rick Hunter and he crushes it. After it's crushed the doctor wakes up.

So in the end they are all properly rewarded and get 10 years off. At the very end of the movie Joker busts harley Quinn out of her jail. We don't know how he survived. I loved this movie a lot. I would give it a 10 out of 10 I highly recommend it!!

Vermont Trip

Vermont Trip

Hi guys! Today I'm going to write about a trip my family took to Vermont to see my grandmother. She recently got a puppy named Ginger who we met on this trip.

So we got to Vermont a little before midnight on Friday. It takes us around 12 hours to get there. When we got there we just went straight to our rooms and slept. The next morning we had bacon and blueberry pancakes. This is when we got to meet the adorable puppy, Ginger. We played with her for a while and then we went to a craft fair in a small New Hampshire town. We wandered around there a little but it started raining so we went into a store and my mom got a jacket. Then we went to a tiny mall and we found a cute store. My grandma got me a really cute jacket. 

We ate lunch in the mall and then we went to a candy store called Chutters. It's got the worlds longest candy counter. We got some candy there. Then we went back to the house to let Ginger out and take a break. Later that day my Grandma made an amazing dinner. The next day we had bacon and french toast for breakfast.

After breakfast we hung out for a while. Around 1 we went to see Suicide Squad. I really liked it, it was a great movie. Then we went antiquing for a little bit. After that we had a late lunch/ early dinner. We had poutine as an appetizer and it's fries covered in cheese and gravy, it was really good. We also had great ice cream. I had blueberry and maple swirled. Then we went back to the house and played with the puppy more.

I had a lot of fun in Vermont. It was great to see my grandma again and to meet her adorable puppy. I can't wait until next time!

Baking

Hi guys! Today I'm going to write about my recent interest in baking. Recently when I'm bored at home I've been pulling out one of my moms old cook books to bake from.

A few days ago I decided to make my Aunts recipe for Lemon Blueberry Poppy Seed Bread. This was by far the biggest hit in my house. It was completely gone by the end of the day and I look forward to making it again. My brothers enjoyed the lemon frosting.

The recipe that I used that got me started in baking was a recipe for Apple Coffee Cake. It was very good and it had a cinnamon and sugar glaze. Another recipe i recently made was Cream Puff Cake. It was a layer of dough, then vanilla pudding, and on top was whip cream and chocolate syrup.

I've also made apple cinnamon muffins and cranberry orange muffins. I find baking to be really fun when you play some music. By the time I'm done in the kitchen I feel accomplished because I just made something that my family will enjoy.

That's my new hobby and on e of my favorite things to do!

The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Hi guys! Today I'm going to review the first 6 episodes of a TV series I recently started watching called The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

So this show was created by a comedian named Tina Fey who my dad really likes. The first episode starts out with Kimmy and three others girls being found in an underground bunker. They were held captave there by a priest. The girls were told that the apocalypse was coming and that they were the only survivors. The police finally found them and the priest was arrested. Kimmy and the other three girls were called The Mole Women. Kimmy decides she wants to live in New York City.

She finds a roommate and she gets a job working as a nanny/assistant for a rich family. In the second episode Kimmy throws a birthday part for the little boy in the family that she works for which makes her job permanent. There is a 15 year old girl in the family that has an attitude problem that Kimmy grounds because her step mother can't. In the third episode Kimmy gets a date from the rich woman she works for. When she gets to the restaurant she finds out the man is really old.

In the 4th episode she goes with the woman she works for to her plastic surgeon. Kimmy gets her scream lines removed and she later comes back because she wants a whole new face. Kimmy realized that her past would't go away just because she had a new face so she didn't follow threw with it. In the 5th episode Kimmy gets a boyfriend, the tutor of the rich family, and one of the mole women visit her. When her friend comes she brings her boyfriend who turns out to be gay but he's taking care of her. He proposes to her and she says yes. Kimmy got dumped by the tutor because she said she loved him and he thought it was moving to fast. In the 6th episode Kimmy went back to middle school to graduate and eventually get her degree and start traveling the world.

So this show is really funny. I would give it a 9 out of 10. If you like comedies I highly recommend this show. I look forward to watching more episodes.
